Dave Feldman is a software engineer, independent researcher, and leading voice in the debate over cholesterol and cardiovascular health. Best known for his work exploring the relationship between dietary changes and LDL cholesterol, Feldman developed the Lipid Energy Model, a hypothesis examining how lipid transport may relate to energy metabolism, particularly in people following ketogenic diets. Through his research and citizen-science initiatives, he challenges conventional assumptions about cholesterol and advocates for deeper investigation into the relationship between lipid markers and cardiovascular risk.
